So, saw A New Hope 2.0 yesterday.
Some poorly organized preliminary thoughts:
I was thoroughly entertained all the way through. The two hours flew by. I admit to being completely captivated from the first moment.
Kylo Ren and Rey (and to some extent, Finn) are great characters (Daisy Ridley stole the show!). Supreme leader Snoke was the most generic-looking villain I've seen in a long time.
The tempo is rushed. Wanted more quality time with the new characters. The story is a bit too simple for my taste, and leaning WAY too much on A New Hope. The dialogue frequently insulted my intellect. John Williams had his intern do the soundtrack.
It's all exactly what I expected. Adequate, competent, playing it (mostly) safe. Lazy in places. A good experience all in all. A worthy successor? Let me think some more.
4/6 stars
